Anniv-rsary Of the Fiftieth Year OF the
Marriage Of Noah Williams and susan
Calho0p.

Anniversary Of the Eiftieth Year OF the
Marriage Of Noah Williams and susa"
Calhoop.
To the Editor OF the Republic:
Before leaving Springfield on the MORN
ing Of the 9th inst, you said to me, Write
UP the golden wedding for the RErUBi-IC."
As above indicated. the anniversary Of the
tiftieth year Of the marriage of Noah Will
liams and Susan Cah"On was celebrated at
the old Calhoon homestead. four miles west
of GAINESVILLE, Ohio. on the 1th inst. NJ.
Williams and his wife have resided at their
residence for forty-twO years. They were
hotb horn in Muskingum county. Ohio, and
have lived in said county all their lives.
The attendance at the golden wedding was
not less than five hundred. The number of
relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams present
exceeded one hundred and fifty. Two broth
n-s Of Mrs Williams. David CaihooD. of
Keitbburg. Ill. and ". X Calhoon, of Spring
field. o.. and one sister. Mrs. Mary Calho"n
Bell of GAINESVILLE, were present. There
are two other brothers still living-Henry
q. Calhoon, of Illinois. and Lewis Calhoon.
of Jacksonville, Oregon. Mr.. Williams's
brothers have all passed away. He has
one sister living. In all respects it was
peculiarly interesting gathering OF relatives
and friends. Many prominent citizens OF
Zanesyille were present, representing the
Older class. The day was spent in speech
making, instrumental and vocal music. The
exercises were continued from early in the
day till late in the evening.
A number of old-time relics were on eX-
hibitiop, Old fire shovel and tOngs which
were used in the family when W. II. har-
rison was governor Of the northwestern ter
ritory. long before Ohio was admitted as q
state of the Union. Pewter plates, which
are now held by the fifth seneration-at
least two hundred years old. Spinning
wheels-large and small-which were IN
use before the American revolutionary war.
Old pennies. dating back to the early
days of the government. Needle
work. by nv mother. which she worked In
the DAYS of her misshood, eighty years ago.
A coln-cracker that was used Tor making
meal before there was grlst-mi'i IN the
grea, northwest territory.
All in all, the anniversary was grand
success. and l will say. the day Will be
long remembered by many who were pres

There are two ways Of navigating the
Nile. The modern way is by line OF
steamers owned by the khedive. The
'.antique' method is supplied by the da-
habeeh The dahabeeh only provides that
sense of dreaminess and slOwnesS which
one needs when jOurneying back into the
centuries. But as things are done under
the present dispensation, the traveller
may, and usually does, have opportunity
to try both methods of travel during one
journey.
The wind is not always good to the da-
habeeh, and she is often glad TO accept q
tow at the stern Of the more independent
fellow traveller. On these occasions there
Is a generous Interchange Of courtesies $50
unusual on marine voyage, and one
may enjoy the privilege Of pacing two
decks on one and the same day. II the
hustle of the steamboat becomes too ex-
citing for ones half languid condition,
there il usually a hearty offer made to
share the quieter, DREAMER, lazier going
of the dahabeeh. Only a cables tow sep
arates them, and an Arab crew is always
ready with a small boat to undertake the
;erIis OF the voyage between.
In making choice between these two
methods the traveller may feel assured
that in the preparation for the journey
and in the start the excitement does not
differ Il piaster's worth. The difference.
in fact, however, is this: The steamboat
passenger may calculate fairly the time Of
his return to Cairo, but the dahabeehist
will escape that heart sickness which
comes from hope deferred. if from the first
he abandons all expectation Of returning
at any time, certain or uncertain. From
the moment he is pushed away from the
quay until he returns he is the vassal Of
the wind and must bend his proud spirit
to its whim.
The dahabech is conducted by II private
irayoman and crew. They are yours
The steamboat is a public conveyance,
aud is much less yours.-Edward L. Vii

Prize Fight Between q Pair Of Amazos

Prize right between u H8ir Oh A"aZOSus
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June A-Two ANA
IONS, named Mary Weidman and Mollie
Dugan, settled a dispute in room over a
Fourth avenue saloon late last night in q
regular bare-knuckle Knockout fight,
lasting through four rounds, Queens
berry rules. Four men and two female
friends Of the combatants were the only
witnesses A referee was chosen, and
the warriers in calico came to the scratch
with their sleeves rolled up to their ell
bows At the call of time they went at
it in fierce fashion.
It was soon evident that Weldman had
the most science, and she battered her
opponent in a savage manner. Dugan
was game, however, and in the second
round started claret from her antago-
nist's nose.
In the third round Weidman landed
terrific Highlander on Dugan's eye,
dis coloring the optic and sending the
recipient to the carpet.
Both women were weak and decidedly
groggy when time for the fourth round
was called After considerable clawing
and reckless slugging, Weidman landed
again on Dugan's eye with straight arm
blow, knocking her clear of her feet.
The blow settled her and Weidman was
declared winner.
It was some time before Dugan fully
recovered, and his face presented quite
sorry sight. Weidman was also marked
up considerably. Weidman has griev-
ance to settle with another female OF the
town, and a mill will probably be ar
ranged between them.
